There is a rope running from the top of a flagpole to a hook in the ground. The flagpole is 21 feet high, and the hook is 20 feet from its base. How long is the rope?

29, use pythagorean theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2) so you get the equation 21 squared (441) plus 20 squared (400), then combine the legs A and B (841) and find the square root so you get C which is 29
